A well intentioned rant about the current state of Advertising, with particular emphasis on Big Dumb Agencies (BDA's) Because, no matter how bad you think it is, it's actually a great deal worse!

Ex-Groupon-nozzle soon to be ex-music-nozzle!

Remember Andrew Mason, the douchenozzle who founded Groupon, then
proceeded to really fuck up what was a semi-fucked up company in the first
place? Well now he’s
reinvented himself as a singer and has just released his first album… “Hardly
Workin’.” Here’s what he has to say about it… "This album pulls some of the
most important learnings (is that a word?) From my years at the helm of one of
the fastest growing businesses in history, and packages them as music,"Mason wrote in a blog post this morning. "Executives, mid-level management, and
front-line employees are all sure to find valuable takeaways. I've probably
listened to the album over a dozen times now, and with each spin I feel like I
learn something." Oh right, Andrew… You’ve listened to your own album all of twelve
times, that’s real dedication… Here’s a sample of the inspiring lyrics from the
“Risin’ Above the Pack” track… "Don't
you know they're all feeling the same way. Time to arbitrage their insecurity,
wipe it away and fill with desire to rise to the top of your company."
Wow, fucking Grammy time there, Andrew. But don’t give up your old job yet… Oh,
wait a minute; they fired your arse, didn’t they!
